Time limits for acc claims (s53, s63(2a))

    Marshall v Accident Compensation Corporation

    Citation
    [2005] NZACC 219
    Court
    District Court

    The appeal was dismissed because the appellant failed to produce contemporaneous, cogent and independent medical evidence and gave inconsistent dates; those facts objectively prejudiced ACC's ability to determine cover, so ACC's decision of 17 December 2004 declining the late claim was reasonable and must be upheld.

    • Prejudice by delay
    • Time limits for acc claims (s53, s63(2a))
